Sharp Shooter Ultra Mag Metal Detector

Date:November 13, 2006

I used this product once, right out of the box during a vacation on Hatteras Island. The instructions were adequate. The product takes practice, patience and perseverance. My total finds to date are a water line and a rusted soda lid. My grandchildren loved the adventure. At the buzz they would start digging! It didn't take long to wear them out but for the time they were into it, they were happy.

My daughter and son in-law just moved in to their new home this year. This fall the next door neighbor was possitive he owned more land than he did (which was 50 feet over on their line straight back more more than a 500 yards). We looked and looked for the survey stakes that where supose to be buried in the ground and we couldn't find them finally my son in-law said how about your sharp shooter metal detector within less then 5 minutes we found one stake and just like clock work with in 40 minutes all 11 Acres was marked out ...what a great helpand No More Questions From the neighbor! Also I love just exploring with it to

This is my first metal detector and I found this unit to be very easy to use. Take it out of the box, put it together, read the instruction booklet and go out and have fun right away. It couldn't be easier and at an affordable price.Can't claim any major finds yet, but stilll having fun using the Bounty Hunter metal detector.I would certainly recommned this device to anyone and especially the beginner, like myself, as an easy and fun way to get into "treasure hunting".

I've been metal detecting for over 20 years. This detector works great. After I find an item in the discrimination mode, I shift to the all metal (no motion) mode to pinpoint an item. I can usually hit exactly where the item is. I've used a detector without accurate pinpointing and had to spend alot more time digging.

I have used my metal detector only once and it seem to do what is advertised. It has may ways to discriminate and other variables that I think will take time to use to there best advantage. I found the storage bag to be handy to keep the unit and accessories together. I think that the headset was of a quality that could be improved upon. Over all I am satisfied and am looking forward to using it a lot when out camping.

IT WORKS

Date:December 24, 2008

EASY TO SET UP, EASY TO WORK, FOUND SOME LOST ARROWS IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND AN ANCIENT SET OF EYE GLASS FRAMES. WAITING FOR THE WEATHER TO MELLOW AND USE AGAIN,CAN'T WAIT. THE SIGNAL ON THIS UNIT TELLS YOU EXACTLY HOW DEEP THE TARGET IS AND I MADE MY OWN TROWEL WITH INCH INCREMENTS ON IT AND ALL WERE EXACT. GREAT BARGAIN, I CAN'T IMAGINE THE $800-$1000 UNITS DOING MUCH MORE.

Cool toy!

In the first five minutes I found a signal indicating a dime at a campground swimming pool, but instead it was an old silver ring with an amethyst. Once a jeweler friend cleans it up it will be a gift for my granddaughter.I love this thing!

Nice Metal Detector

This was a gift for my son who has several acres to search. It is light weight and easy to read. A good value and as with all Cabelas purchases backed by their no questions asked return policy. Keep this unit in mind when searching for a metal detector. Over the years I have made most major purchases from Cabelas because of their customer service.

Have had some fun and minor success as a first time user of a metal detector but this item WORKS and am enjoying. I continue to educate myself on "treasure hunting" and that is why I only have a 4 star rating.. sure there is better but for a beginner this so far seems pretty darn good for the money.

Dig this Product

Never used one and still was able to brush up on the simpler aspects of operation using the start up directions in just a few minutes. Before I could get to the back line of our property had found enough stuff to keep me occupied the entire the morning. Childs old cap gun was the most interesting. I am wondering why I had not purchased a detector sooner. Great little unit even a scatter brain like me can have fun with. Next stop? Who knows!! Very cool.

Father's Day present

Date:July 2, 2012

My daughter bought me the "Bounty Hunter Ultra Mag" last month for Father's Day.Lucky for me she owns 31 acres of property, and the deed to her property shows where a house sat back in the mid 1800's. So that seemed like the perfect place to go.My first find was a iron ring, that appears to be off a horse bridle, or saddle. But my second find was a double head axe blade. From there I found several pieces of what I believe was from a wood burning stove, and the remains of an old coal bucket. And as I was leaving I found another double head axe blade ! All of this stuff was found within 100' from where the hand dug water well is at. I still have 99% of the property to cover !This is the first time I've ever used a metal detector. I still need to learn the finer points of the detector, but it was easier than I expected. And just about everything it showed me on the screen was correct, depth, etc. I think this is a great and a very user product and highly recommend it.
